Prepare ● Venting.
If your kiln is equipped with and EnviroVent2 you will want to turn it on before pressing start. Be sure the
lid is closed (and latched if you have a Lid Lifter) and all the Peep Plugs are in.
If your kiln is not equipped with a vent system you will want to prop the lid open until the chamber
temperature reaches 1000 ˚F (538˚C). If your kiln is equipped with a Lid Lifter, use the installed Lid Prop.
If your kiln does not have a built in Lid Prop, use a wedge of firebrick to prop it approximately 1 to 2
inches. Always use a fire proof glove to remove your prop. Leave the top peep plug out throughout the
entire firing.
